My Family’s Beach Trip
By Allie Eakes

I love to go to the beach. It is very fun to stick my feet in the cold sand. My favorite beach is in Fort Walton. My great aunt and uncle live there. My whole family goes there every Forth of July. I have lots of cousins, so it is always loud and filled with laughter. My aunt and uncle’s condo is what we stay in. They have a great view of the bay. My cousins and I love to swim in the crystal clear bay, because it is very refreshing in the hot sun. The water was as pretty as a diamond. The condo is also so close to the bay you can hear the sound of the waves in the morning when you wake up. The best part about this trip is the Forth of July night. My uncle cooks delicious hamburgers and hotdogs. We all love how they taste and smell. The fireworks were beautiful bombs in the sky. Also, they were as bright as the sun. The Forth of July trip is so much fun every year.
